History

High performance composite FAR 103 canard ultralight.
Complete kit minus out of age epoxy, expanding foam adhesive, fiberglass cloth (has too many creases from storage), exhaust
and propeller unless I find them before kit is picked up. This is a later production kit that is the "Golduster"
with the heavier duty spars for ag spraying. Has the Cuyuna 430D engine. Has been in climate controlled storage the last few
years. Was stored deep inside a large barn for two years but has spent most of it's life stored in a hanger in Nevada. I bought
this from an original Goldwing dealer.

The Goldwing was a kit in the '80s designed by Craig Catto and was basically ahead of it's time as a high performance
ultralight. Glide ratio 16:1 and with a redrive and bigger prop it can easily cruise well above 103 standards. However, this
kit can be built as a true ultralight. The company stopped production because of liability issues. There was a fatality because
of a spar failure in an early kit. The spars were redesigned and all the early kits were recalled. This kit not only has the
beefier spars it also has the even beefier spars for a ~100 lbs higher gross weight rating for ag-spraying use.

I've been waiting for the right time to build this but have decided to sell because I'm buying a two place homebuilt kit.
I've rummaged through all the parts as I was preparing to build except for the foam so the boxes have been opened. The foam
is in two 4'x8'x2' boxes that have never been opened. The foam boxes are frayed at the edges but the foam inside appears to
be in good shape.

The epoxy is out of date and the fiberglass cloth had creases in it so I've used it for other projects like building canoes.
It's 4oz. BID cloth which is readily available through several sources. There is a small qty. left which I'll include so you
can source it out easily. Epoxy is easy to find also. I'll be glad to give sources that I use for my other fiberglass work.
You can easily find the appropriate cloth and enough epoxy to finish the project for ~$300 or so.

For some reason I've misplaced the exhaust and direct drive prop. If I find them of course I'll include them. However,
my recommendation is to get a newer style exhaust and a redrive and bigger prop to realize substantial performance gains.

The engine has never been run. All the hoses on the carb appear to be in good shape with no drying out observed. One of
the spark plug wires will need replacing.

If built exactly as prescribed in the manual this kit can be built in minimal time.

Since I'm not the original manufacturer or even the original owner I am only selling this as parts. Any liability of completing
the project and the inherent danger of flying it lies with you. Any defect because of age, etc. is your responsibility.
